Text Chapter 279 Things he cannot possibly know

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhao Hongyu and the others came to Lisbon, a city belonging to Portugal, but Portugal, the owner of this city, was controlled by Spain.

    Therefore, Sara really couldn¡¯t understand what the use of having a wasteland here was.

    She really doesn¡¯t understand, and even thinks that her little man is wasting his family.

    "Your Royal Highness, the details are a bit complicated, and I can't explain them clearly for a while. But what I can tell you is that setting up a concession here will be of great benefit to us.", Sa  Wang Shan really couldn't answer this question clearly in a short period of time, so he knew that telling Sara about it would be beneficial, and the benefits would be huge.

    The concession has judicial power and is not under the jurisdiction of Portugal. Criminals who enter the concession are also detained and arrested by the concession. The Portuguese army has no right to enter the concession

    While the two were chatting, Wang Shan instructed Sara to write the agreement document.

    When Sarah wrote about the rights of the concession, she suddenly realized that if the concession was managed in this way, it would be a state within a state.

    "If you do this, wouldn't it be a state within a state? And you still have the right to garrison troops. Portuguese justice cannot be implemented in the concession. What are you going to do?" After having such doubts, Sarah lowered her voice and asked  Wang Shan asked.

    hehe

    Hearing this, Wang Shan laughed.  When the laughter stopped, Wang Shan replied: "Yes, we are going to build a state within a state. The most important thing about this concession is the right to garrison troops in the concession, as well as other rights. Basically, it is equivalent to us  I spent a little money and bought a limited-term enclave here in Lisbon, so explain it.¡±

    Sarah was speechless for a while. After a while, she said to Wang Shan: "Meghan is not a fool. There is no way he will agree to such conditions. You must know that doing so is equivalent to putting Portugal's interests aside."

    Wang Shan curled his lips: "Megan is an official appointed by Spain, and she is not Portuguese. Moreover, Spain is currently in financial shortage, and their military operations in the Netherlands are not going well, so we pay 30,000 gold pesos a year.  The cost of renting land is a lot of money for them. Therefore, the Spanish side will not refuse, and Megan wants the agency rights of Sugar, so he will not have any problems here, it is all for their own benefit.  To that, isn¡¯t it?¡±

    After Wang Shan finished talking on the phone, Sarah thought about it and it made sense.

    ¡°Nowadays, people in Spain¡¯s Royal Mountains are so poor that they can¡¯t even wear pants. As long as you don¡¯t tell them and let them sell your butt, it¡¯s probably okay.  Now that there are people here in Lisbon paying to rent wasteland, how could they not be willing to do so?

    That¡¯s thirty thousand gold pesos a year, which can be converted into three or four hundred thousand silver pesos.

    And the cost and salary to maintain a 10,000-man army is just this amount per year.

    Therefore, it is impossible for Spain not to pay attention to it.

    ¡°Besides, Lisbon belongs to Portugal. Even if it loses its interests, it is Portugal¡¯s interests. Spain has nothing to lose, right?

    So, Wang Shan can conclude that His Highness¡¯s plan is completely successful.

    hey-hey

    The first concession in Europe has been won.

    Although it is not big, only one kilometer.  But Wang Shan is confident that as their contacts with Europe become more frequent, the expansion of this concession is certain.

    ¡°And Zhao Hongyu wants to use this concession to do big things, so it¡¯s not certain that the scope of the concession will be expanded soon.

    Haha, who knows, but things have to be done, right?

    It took Sara eight pieces of kraft paper to write the entire Leap, and the rights enjoyed by the concession were densely written on them.  This is of course within the concession. As for Lisbon's original interests, nothing has changed.

    In other words, Lisbon¡¯s interests have not been affected, and Meghan can still receive that much tax.

    And after having the concession, he can also pay thirty thousand gold pesos every year, which is quite a lot of money.

    What he needs to pay is just a wasteland on the outskirts of Lisbon, a wasteland that no one goes to at all, and that no one develops and will never be used.

    This is simply equivalent to Zhao Hongyu sending money to Spain, which is a good thing.

    Zhao Hongyu¡¯s explanation for having independent judicial power and garrison power in the concession is very simple.  In order to deal with those imperial personnel who do not abide by the law, the garrison is to protect the security of the concession.

    Such a statement makes sense, it just depends on whether Spain and Meghan are serious or not.

      If it¡¯s true, it¡¯s really troublesome.

    But with the 30,000 gold pesos opening the way and Megan¡¯s sugar deal, I think these problems will be easily solved.

    "Okay, I've finished writing it. Check to see if there are any omissions. If not, let's take it out and give it to them." After Sara finished writing the agreement document, she raised her head and looked at Wang Shandao.

    "Oh, it's already written. Let me take a look at it. I hope there will be no omissions." After walking over, Wang Shan picked up the English document and read it carefully. Thanks to Sarah for writing it in three languages.  These documents are written in English, Latin, and Spanish. Otherwise, it would be really difficult for Wang Shan to read them.

    After carefully reading the quoted version of the document, Wang Shan put down the agreement document in his hand and looked at Sara and said: "It's very good, there are no omissions. I think we can go out now."

    Although Sara still has many things to ask Wang Shan and has doubts about many issues in the concession, it is obvious that now is not the time to explore this issue.

    After sorting out the agreement documents, Sara and Wang Shan left the captain's room.

    Zhao Hongyu and Megan were chatting and laughing on the top of the attic. It was obvious that the two of them were chatting happily.

    ¡°And Emma disappeared at this time. I don¡¯t know where the little girl went at this time.

    "Where's Emma? Why is Emma missing?"

    After walking up, Sarah looked left and right and when she didn¡¯t see Emma, ??she asked.

    ¡°She went to see her cougar, and the little guy was bored here.¡±

    Zhao Hongyu shrugged his shoulders and replied.

    ¡°Oh, this cream cake is so delicious. It¡¯s the first time I know there is such a delicious food in the world.¡±

    At this time, Megan put down the plate with the cake in her hand, and got really angry and nodded to Sara.

    During the time when Sara and Wang Shan left, Zhao Hongyu invited Megan to taste milk tea and cake, allowing Megan to enjoy the pleasure of having her taste buds shocked.

    To be honest, there is no such food as cake in this era.

    And Megan may be the first European to taste this kind of food.

    When he took the first bite of the cake, he was immediately conquered by the milky and sweet taste.

    With the addition of fragrant milk tea, he realized that food could be so delicious.  The food I ate before was simply garbage.

    ¡°But Zhao Hongyu told him that these were just snacks, not a full meal.

    When ordinary people¡¯s meals in the Song Empire now consisted of three dishes and one soup, Megan was jealous.

    ¡°Oh my God, compared with the people of the Song Empire, this nobleman really looks like a beggar.

    At this time, ordinary people in Europe still ate the kind of boiled oatmeal paste.  This kind of food is only eaten by ordinary families for two meals a day, but in the Song Empire in America, it has started to have three dishes and one soup, and three or even four meals a day.

    God, what kind of life is this? Are all the people in the American Song Empire so rich?

    From some common things, Megan can basically infer the living conditions of the people in the American Song Empire, which makes sense.

    ¡°Besides, those merchants and sailors who went to Manhattan to do trade would also talk about things in the Americas when they returned to Europe, and Megan knew a lot about them.

    So, he didn¡¯t think Zhao Hongyu was bragging.

    ¡°At least that¡¯s what many people say, and Zhao Hongyu is just a person from the Americas who has provided evidence for these things.

    In fact, there are reasons for the good life of the people in the Song Empire in America. First of all, there are fewer people and more land there, which is completely different from Europe.

    Europe has more people and less land, and most of the land has been annexed by big landowners and nobles. This has led to two extremes: the rich are getting richer, and the poor are getting poorer.

    But such a situation could not be seen in the Song Empire.

    Because the Song Empire was born only a short time ago, and the land was controlled under the name of the umbrella, even Zhao Hongyu only used a small part of it, while the genetic people allocated the land to establish farms and manors.

    Therefore, the people of the empire in Manhattan can live a very good life.

    In addition, the Mohican people on Manhattan Island are also reclaiming land to plant crops. This year, when waiting for the autumn harvest, the winter food in Manhattan will definitely be more abundant.

    Even so, there is still a lot of land in the empire, and it is all hanging on the?The umbrella company is there.

    Europe cannot compare to the Song Empire.

    In addition, the Americas are very rich in products, with many kinds of wild animals and fish resources. It is easy to obtain protein, so this is better than Europe.

    In this era of Europe, the wild animals have been captured by poor people. Even the fish in streams and rivers have been captured, and the fish resources in the offshore are slowly shrinking.

    It can be said that Europe today is really not as good as America.

    If Zhao Hongyu hadn¡¯t appeared, the Europeans would have once again become famous thanks to the American continent.

    But the problem is that history has gone awry. An outsider, Zhao Hongyu, broke into this era and rewrote the history of America.

    Therefore, it becomes a bit impossible for Europe to follow the original historical process and use the resources and land of the American continent to rise to the top of the earth.

    ¡°But for some things, it¡¯s impossible for him to know about Megan.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
